| CJ. from EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}1/LG21.3.22. X1487 Y4219 3 GOSHAWK 11. GOSHAWK LIMOUSINE. I take it from your memo CJ1/D20.3.22. that this car should be fitted up with the S.U.Carburetter and that if the performance is definitely improved, a further test of the car could be taken by LHS{Lord Herbert Scott}, Mr. Gibbs and yourself. Would this week-end be convenient for this? As the use of the S.U. Carburetter has not as yet be,condoned by R, we have not considered it advisable for the car to be run as a sample proposed production, fitted with this carburetter. From The last paragraph of your letter, I take it, that this is now in order. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
